In Cold Blood DVD
A stark and deeply unsettling true-crime drama that examines a senseless murder with restraint, psychological depth and an overwhelming sense of inevitability.
Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his genuine love of cinema, unforgettable performances and the craft of filmmaking.
Dad was an actor and scriptwriter who understood the importance of character, dialogue and films capable of confronting difficult subjects without turning away from their human consequences. His collection reflected a lifelong appreciation for serious performances, intelligent adaptations and cinema that trusted its audience to sit with uncomfortable truths.
Written and directed by Richard Brooks and based on the celebrated nonfiction book by Truman Capote, In Cold Blood follows Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, two former prisoners whose search for money leads them to the isolated home of the Clutter family in rural Kansas.
After discovering that the fortune they expected does not exist, the two men commit a brutal and apparently motiveless crime. As investigators attempt to understand what happened, Perry and Richard travel across the country while the consequences of their actions move steadily closer.
Robert Blake and Scott Wilson give powerful and disturbing performances that resist simple explanations or easy sympathy. Filmed in stark black and white, the story avoids sensationalism and instead builds its tension through silence, atmosphere and the knowledge that the events depicted were drawn from a real case.
An important addition for collectors of classic American cinema, Truman Capote adaptations and serious true-crime dramas examining violence, consequence and the search for understanding after an unthinkable act.
